Show Notes

PT 3: Jane Downes is a parent of four kids, a chartered accountant and the founder of Part-Time.ie, a flexible work recruitment website and Jane Downes Finance Talent, a specialist recruitment agency for the finance sector in Ireland.

This is the final of three mini episodes of our conversation, which took place in October.

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Relying on her processes to get her through the ups and downs of business
  • How she's been looking after herself as a founder over the past few years
  • What she wishes someone would have told her before becoming a parent and business owner
  • How what she's working on is connected to the future she'd like to see for her children

Thanks again to Jane for taking the time to speak about all things parenthood, entrepreneurship and flexible work!
